"After Venezuela & President Maduro abduction or negotiated exit I cannot stop thinking about our African (esp. long-staying) presidents: What will they tell us about why they have not fallen That our countries have no resources for the interest of the United States or that they already handed over these resources. It is more evident now as we argued for long that African (long-staying) presidents can only do so only as colonial caretakers. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2007907107228798995 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2007907107228798995"

""Serunkumas essay ultimately yearns for political poetry: a graceful redemptive ending. Yet statecraft in post-conflict societies is rarely lyrical. It is often tragic prose where virtue lies not in symbolic gestures but in stewardship sequencing and restraint. The democratic horizon is not in dispute." Amb. @simonmulongo I didn't know your game. While I think you have chosen we bury our heads in the sand this is very beautiful writing"

While I'm begging M7 to follow Moi's example stand aside & give UG a chance when time still allows Mulongo has firm trust in democracy. Surely in the next five years we'll have to debate the question of transition. UG is not a democracy we need to sit down"

Toussaint Loverture leader of the first successful anti-slave rebellion made the decisions he made bse of the immense amount of criticism he faced from those he sought to liberate. (See Black Jacobins Conscripts of Modernity).
